Metal-Free coupling reactions chosen as the cover for Chemical Science.
Our work with the Murphy group on the role of super electron donors in promoting metal-free aryl-aryl coupling reactions has been chosen as the cover for Chemical Science. This work has attracted a lot of attention and stayed consistently in the top 5 of most downloaded articles for Chemical Science in the first two months of its online […]
Christopher Idziak gets his PhD
Congratulations to Dr Chris Idziak who passed is PhD viva examination today with Dr. Jamie Platts (Cardiff) and Prof. Pete Skabara (Strathclyde). During his PhD studies, Chris applied Density Functional Theory to further the understanding of organic reactivity, with contributions to the areas of super electrophiles and the role of solvent in modifying Ir deuteration catalysts. We […]
Pim Frederix gets his PhD!
Congratulations to Dr Pim Frederix who passed is PhD viva examination today with an excellent viva. During his PhD studies, Pim practised a number of experimental and theoretical techniques in order to gain a strong insight into the self-assembly structures and mechanisms of peptide-based materials. Pim was our first student to take on the joint […]
